What Do I Say?
This is just your basic "What do I say during rush?" thread with a personal twist on it. If what I'm about to ask you encroaches on sacred sorority territory, I am by no means asking you to break that trust.
I'll be rushing in the fall and I've been talking with one of my girlfriends who is already in Greek Life there--she's been helping me through all the steps. The other day we got on the topic of what houses I had a pre-rush interests in and the conversation took a turn to what I should hold off on saying: such as the fact that I'm not Christian.
I'm rushing in Georgia, smack-dab in the middle of the Bible Belt. I have no problem with what anyone believes--that's their business--but my friend is worried that some of the girls may have a problem with me not being Christian. My friend said that every week her sorority is required to go to a local mass service. She said not to say anything about my beliefs until after rush.
I see that she's just trying to help me, but now I'm worried. While I don't care what anyone else believes, I don't want to be forced to take part in a ceremony I don't believe in--mostly because I would feel like a fraud and I'd be afraid of offending someone.
What do I do? How can I know if I really fit with a sorority if I never know what their ceremonies are like? Help!
